From this, Dierk seemed to have glimpsed the hope of advancing further. If he hadn't learned that Yuan Zhou was busy opening his restaurant, Dierk would have gone back to China with Yuan Zhou on the same day.
But he only endured it for two or three more days. After that, he couldn't wait to set off again.
In order to prevent Ogyust and the others from sharing Yuan Zhou's free time with him, Dierk even pretended to be sick. It was truly a big move.
Yuan Zhou didn't know that Dierk was a good actor. Therefore, he was a little dumbfounded when Dierk appeared in front of him the next day.
"Am I really the Heaven's Chosen One?"
He had always had this doubt, but he had never been as sure as he was now. Just yesterday, he was wondering if he should invite some famous chefs over to have an exchange of cuisines from several countries, including Turkey. And today, Dierk came knocking on his door.
Originally, Yuan Zhou planned to invite Paul, who had been staying in Chengdu, over. For Paul, he was familiar with Turkish cuisine and could handle it well. He could be considered one of the best chefs in Chengdu. Therefore, he could take on this task.
Moreover, when he was talking to Dierk, Dierk mentioned Paul's name by chance. Judging from his words, Yuan Zhou believed in Dierk's judgment. Besides, Paul had also had an exchange with Yuan Zhou, so he naturally knew Dierk's cooking skills.
But no matter how good Paul was, it was definitely not as appropriate as Dierk coming in person.
"This is The Kitchen God. The one over there is Head Chef Yuan."
Alex was the local guide hired by Dierke. He dutifully introduced the restaurant and Yuan Zhou who was standing at the door to Dierke.
They arrived just as Yuan Zhou was sending off the last customer. At this time, lunchtime had just ended. This timing was something that Alex had planned.
Dierk had naturally made preparations before coming to Chengdu to look for Yuan Zhou. First, he booked a hotel and hired a tour guide. After all, he had never been to China. His assistant, Joseph, didn't have one either. But that didn't stop him from finding a tour guide and booking a hotel.
Since Yuan Zhou was a postcard from Chengdu, even if Joseph didn't emphasize on booking a hotel closer to Yuan Zhou, there would still be a notification popping up.
They were lucky enough to book Wu Yungui's hotel and choose Alex, which had the best reputation and was related to Yuan Zhou.
Ever since Alex started receiving visitors who came to visit Yuan Zhou or Taoxi Road, his sales volume had skyrocketed. The number of visitors who came here every day was very high. Even if only one-tenth of them chose to work as a local guide, it would still be a great source of income for Alex.
Not only that, but Alex was the first tour guide to become rich by taking tourists to Taoxi Road and Yuan Zhou.
Without Alex's introduction, Dierk saw Yuan Zhou the moment he appeared. He walked up to Yuan Zhou at a speed that didn't match his age and said, "Good afternoon, Head Chef Yuan. It's a pleasure to meet you again."
With a smile on his face, he was obviously very happy. He even extended his hands, intending to shake hands with Yuan Zhou. In truth, Dierk wanted to hug Yuan Zhou more. But according to his research, there was no such etiquette between people of the same gender in China. Therefore, he changed it to a handshake instead.
"Hello, Head Chef Dierk. Welcome to Chengdu. Is there anything I can help you with?" Yuan Zhou shook Dierk's hands with both hands.
He was very curious about Türk's purpose in coming to China. After all, Türk was very old. At the age of 79, he was considered quite old, even in the culinary circle. It was said that he had not been abroad for nearly a decade. Other than Istanbul, where he lived, he had hardly been to any other place in the past few years.
"I have a new idea that I need to discuss with Head Chef Yuan. I think it's a good idea," Dierk said.
That was true. Originally, Dierke had spent 10 years perfecting the new style of roast mutton, which had almost exhausted his entire life's energy. But after several hours of discussion with Yuan Zhou in the meeting, he suddenly had a new inspiration. In the next few days, after he perfected the new style of roast mutton, he couldn't restrain his excitement and came to China.
"That won't be a problem. Head Chef Dierk, please come in."
Yuan Zhou nodded at Alex and beckoned Dierk into the restaurant. His assistant, Joseph, followed behind Dierk like a shadow while Alex waited outside the door.
This time, he also brought a lost cooking technique. It was a Turkish dessert filling method. Like the Islov Baking Method, this was the most authentic Turkish cooking technique that had been lost for hundreds of years.
Dierk felt that if there was anyone who could research this method with him, it would be Yuan Zhou.
Yuan Zhou was also very interested in Dierk's method. After Joseph laid out a series of documents, the two began to research it.
Dierk had guessed the beginning but not the end. He knew that Yuan Zhou was very good at cooking. Even he wasn't as good as Yuan Zhou.
Although both of them were champions and seemed to be on par with each other, Dierk knew very well that he was still slightly weaker than Yuan Zhou. After all, his dishes had been cooked for 10 years while Yuan Zhou had been learning cooking for less than 10 years. It was impossible for Yuan Zhou to be as old as him.
If Teerke knew that Yuan Zhou had spent one month on preparing the dishes and that he had spent so much time on them, he probably wouldn't have any other thoughts. He wouldn't be surprised that Yuan Zhou could get so many useful clues just by going through the materials once. In an instant, Yuan Zhou had crossed a distance that others couldn't even reach in one or two years.
Dierk's actions were not hidden from others. Soon, the top chefs who attended the conference found out about his whereabouts. Therefore, after Dierk, Yuan Zhou would see some familiar faces in front of him every few days. They were all familiar faces who attended the Ankara conference.
Originally, they wanted to invite Yuan Zhou to attend some of their gatherings. They were all at the same level, so they should communicate more with each other.
They were old and didn't want to travel. Otherwise, they would have come to Huaxia a long time ago. However, Dierk was older than them, so they could overcome the difficulties. Therefore, they would see a top chef every once in a while.
Yuan Zhou was very happy to see this. Not to mention that he was learning the cuisines of various countries, even if he didn't, Yuan Zhou was also willing to communicate and learn from many top chefs.
Time passed little by little in these trifles. Of course, Yuan Zhou didn't always wait for people to visit him. Sometimes, he would take the initiative to pay a visit to some reclusive famous chefs, such as Mr. Ma, whom he had met previously.
In order to learn more cooking knowledge, Yuan Zhou had always been very serious and persistent.
